Reflections: Do we all lie about sex

Created on: May 19, 2010   Last Updated: May 21, 2010


WHEN IT CONCERNS PEOPLE, THERE IS NEVER A 100%

Most of us do have our pick and choose moments of what to tell whom. If a person was a virgin when they got married (poor them) they will always be able to remember and tell the same story. That percentage of the population is an endangered species. Those that choose to partake in this particular pleasurable activity can chew your ear off, if they choose to.  

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN MEN AND WOMEN

 It seems there is a 180 degree difference between the sexes. I have found over the years that the number for former lovers a woman has had goes down, while it becomes a never ending fish story for men. Do I have to say it gets larger?

A PERFECT PERSONAL EXPERIENCE

 I had a very good female friend, and we were talking at a party. We got onto a sexual topic as usual, and it turned into; how many men/women have you slept with. I told her my number, which was honestly what I remembered. She told me her number, which was smaller than she had told me previously.

 Since I have a great memory, I called her on it. She then named the guys, but something was awry. I reminded her that we used to date, and my name wasn’t on the list (could I be that forgettable; impossible?) This story and others like it are where I get my belief that women that age say less, and aging men say more. Liars on both sides.
